The last time we saw Jalin Marshall, he and Ohio State University teammate, Rashad Frazier — both Middletown High School graduates — were the toast of the town during a celebration at Wade E. Miller Gym after the Buckeyes won the National Championship. It seemed both of them, but especially Marshall, could do no wrong toward the end of the championship run, and with three years of eligibility left at OSU, Marshall appeared destined toward stardom. It didn’t take a great imagination to forecast Marshall one day playing wide receiver in the NFL, like another standout Middie and Hall of Famer, Cris Carter. That may still happen, but the news out of Columbus last week sent shock waves throughout the Middletown community, where Marshall was known for dating his high school sweetheart, being named Homecoming King, and posing as the ideal student/athlete. Marshall, along with defensive end Joey Bosa, H-Back Dontre Wilson and wide receiver Corey Smith, were suspended for one game, the Buckeyes’ opener Sept. 7 at Virginia Tech, for academics or marijuana, according to media reports, though OSU hasn’t released the infractions. Marshall’s older brother, DeAnte, told Northeast Ohio Media Group in a phone interview on Thursday that the Buckeyes wide receiver is saddened by his actions and will use it as a growing experience. “He’s very remorseful for what he did,” DeAnte said. “At first he was kind of down on himself, disappointed. Now he’s just ready to go. He’s put it behind him and realized he made a mistake. As he grows, his maturity is also growing, so he’s learning to learn from his mistakes and not put himself in a position where something like that could happen. Just keeping better company. “Jalin didn’t grow up smoking weed, and in high school he was always a good kid, never got in trouble at all, just like his first two years at Ohio State. It was just an incident that I guess he thought he could beat the system on, or didn’t think about the consequences for his actions. But he wants to make it up to Ohio State. He wants to earn their trust back, just knowing he was looked at as an integral part of the championship run. He knows he has more responsibility on the field and now he feels more responsibility as a student athlete, not only to the team, but to the fans, to move forward in a positive way.” Back in Middletown, where Marshall was a standout quarterback, state champion long jumper and guard on the basketball team, plus involved in other extra-curricular activities, those close to him said they were sadden by the suspension. Mark Kerns, a retired MHS teacher and the organizer of the OSU Championship celebration at the high school, said he was “very disappointed” to hear about Marshall’s off-the-field actions. “But I guess we are human beings, and we make mistakes,” Kerns said. “Things happen and we try to learn and be better and go on. You still love him, but what he did was not good.” If Kerns could give Marshall any advice, what would he say? “Good choices, good consequences. Bad choices, bad consequences.” On Friday, the Rev. Michael Bailey, pastor at Faith United, said he woke up saying, “It’s a great day to be a Middie.” Marshall’s suspension, though, was “disappointing,” he said. “You have to reflect and think who’s perfect around here?” he said. “Hopefully, it will be a teachable moment. Jalin Marshall is humble. No doubt he’s down on himself. He has messed up, but he will move forward.” Another Middie supporter, one of the biggest in the city, Don “Woody” Withrow, said he didn’t understand why Marshall — or anyone given a similar opportunity — would make mistakes that tarnished his reputation and that of the city. He has followed Marshall his entire career. “It just makes no sense,” Withrow said. “When you mess up like that, it’s more than just you that you disappoint.” More News From Our News Partners Man rolls underneath moving train in wild, dangerous stunt Australian official calls cats ‘tsunamis of violence and death’ Photos: Confederate flag rally at Stone Mountain Park Must-see: Photo of hawks exchanging food in midair goes viral Photos: Scenes from the funeral of Bobbi Kristina Hot topics marimo.emit(‘writecapture66778555_ready’); marimo.add_widget({“wc_compatibility_mode”: false, “html”: ” $NEWLINE$NEWLINE$NEWLINE View AllTop Jobs$NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE $NEWLINE﻿
